the group MMSI is used and the resend and DSC responses do not apply.

to communicate.
2. Press the Call/Set button to enter the Call Send menu.
3. Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll to GROUP.
4. Press the Call/Set button to move to the send
or exit menu.
5. Use the Up/Down buttons to select SEND or EXIT.
6. Press the Call/Set button to send the message or
return to the Call Send menu if EXIT was chosen.
All radios will be switched to the channel selected in
step 1. Press and hold the
Talk button to send your
voice message to everyone in the group.
Anyone in the group can now also transmit on
that channel.
